Authenticate using your GHL account to access the Blogs API via the Zapier App Connector. Use the supported method (OAuth or API key) and grant the Blogs API scope as required by the connector.
In Zapier App Connector, connect to your GHL account by following the OAuth flow or API key setup in the app connector and test the connection.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET blogs/check-slug.readonly; and related email endpoints to support blog workflows. These endpoints cover creating, updating, slug checks, and retrieval of categories and authors to support automation.

This glossary defines essential terms and processes used when integrating GHL APIs with the Zapier App Connector, including endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows apps to talk to each other.
The process of verifying identity and granting access (OAuth, API keys).
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
A URL-friendly string that identifies a post.
Trigger a post draft from your CMS and push it to Blogs API via Zapier.
Schedule automatic publishing of posts using the Blogs API.
Auto-share new posts to social platforms through Zapier.
Connect your GHL account in Zapier and grant the Blogs API access.
Define triggers, actions, and data mappings for blog posts.
Run tests to ensure posts are created and published as intended.
To authenticate the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, select the Blogs API in Zapier and choose OAuth or API Key authentication as supported by the connector. Ensure your GHL account is connected and that the necessary scopes for blog operations are granted. Test the connection to confirm access. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys or refresh tokens as advised by your security policies.
Endpoints for blog posts include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET blogs/check-slug.readonly or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). These enable end-to-end publishing automation. You can also fetch categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) to enrich posts and map metadata in your workflows.
Yes. Scheduling posts is supported by configuring a time-based trigger in Zapier and using the Blogs API to set or update the publish_date. This allows posts to go live automatically at your chosen times. Be sure to account for time zones and any daylight saving changes in your workflow.
To create a post, you typically need: title and content as required fields; a slug to identify the URL; and optional fields such as author, categories, tags, and publish_date. Validation may require that the slug is unique and that referenced author or category IDs exist in your GHL setup.
Check slug existence by calling the blog slug check endpoint (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or blogs/check-slug.readonly). It returns whether a slug is already in use. If the slug exists, modify it or let the system auto-generate a unique slug before creating the post.
Yes. You can retrieve authors and categories using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints return IDs and metadata you can map to your posts. Use this data to assign authors and categorize posts within your automation workflows.
No coding is required to connect the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector. The integration uses triggers and actions defined in the connector. Map fields, configure steps visually, and deploy automations without writing code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
